A Bronze Age barrow in Suffolk sat empty for 2,000 years. Then Romans enclosed it, built a painted shrine beside it, and buried six pig skulls facing east. Nobody knows which god. #RomanBritain #Archaeology #BronzeAge https://www.anthropology.net/p/six-pig-skulls-facing-east-a-roman

@thesweetcheat maybe you meant to say #bronzeAge ⬆️ with an 'e' after the 'z' ?

Archaeologists in Sweden uncovered 82 ancient pits dating back nearly 3,000 years. The site may have hosted massive feasts and rituals, but its true purpose remains unknown.

#Matriarchy May Have Prevailed in #Minoan Civilization

By Maria Rybachuk, November 13, 2023

Excerpt: "The Minoan civilization, among the earliest and most advanced societies in the #BronzeAge, excelled in art, trade, and the prominent role of women.

"Women in ancient Greece were markedly disadvantaged in terms of rights, often confined to domestic and reproductive spheres. However, there were some exceptions such as ancient #Sparta. This city-state presented a fascinating departure from #patriarchal norm, showcasing women who were robust, independent, and well-educated.

"A more enigmatic occurrence involves the portrayal of women on Bronze Age #Crete. Several scholars concur that women held a notably dominant position compared to men. Thus, John Younger, professor of classics at the University of Kansas, noted that 'this culture on Crete around 1600-1500 BCE is the closest candidate for a matriarchy.' "

#FindsFriday! In 2021, we carried out an exciting excavation in Großmugl, where we documented settlement remains from the #BronzeAge and #IronAge. The #EarlyBronzeAge #pottery included several highlights: vessels decorated with rows of impressions, incised lines, and punctuated dots, some filled with white inlay, like the fragments shown here! #Archaeology #Ceramics #ArchaeologicalFinds #Excavation #EuropeanPrehistory #MaterialCulture #Austria #History #Österreich

Scientists Have Uncovered Evidence Of #Ireland's Largest #Prehistoric #Hillfort Settlement

“In a recent study [(link above), the authors] identified more than 600 suspected house platforms in the Brusselstown Ring hillfort [Ireland], making it the largest nucleated settlement ever discovered in the entirety of prehistoric Britain and Ireland thus far. Subsequent test excavations revealed evidence of Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age occupation as well as a potential water cistern, which may be the very first of its kind in an Irish hillfort…”

Unos 5000 petroglifos cubren los cañones de Tamgaly, Kazajistán. Aunque la mayoría son de la Edad del Bronce, seguían incluyéndose más en la Edad Media. Esto ha provocado que los más nuevos tapen a los antiguos.📸Sergei Volkov/Kiwiodysee #petroglifos #petroglyphs #kazajistan #kazakhstan #edaddelbronce #bronzeage

Last stone standing in Pen-y-Beacon (Hay Bluff) stone circle for today's #StandingStoneSunday.

Rather forlorn next to a parking area now (although it does sometimes have its own ice-cream van), the circle stands at the foot of Pen-y-Beacon/Hay Bluff in the Black Mountains. It has great views all the way to Y Mynydd Ddu on a clear day.

This visit April 2010 on a walk from Talgarth to Hay-on-Wye along the northern summit of the Black Mountains.

Burton Howe — A Bronze Age round barrow

Just adjacent to the Cleveland Way, as it slogs its way along the landrover track on Greenhow Bank, lies Burton Howe, topped with its medieval parish boundary marker stone. Perched at an elevation of 433 metres (1,419 feet), it affords a splendid view of the Cleveland Plain, stretching westward along the line ...

Carreg Waun Llech on the limestone hills south of Crickhowell, South Wales for today's #StandingStoneSunday

Great views of the Black Mountains and Pen y Fal (The Sugarloaf) from here.

Visited May 2010.

#BronzeAge #BlackMountains #SouthWales #Sugarloaf

A moody day in South Wales for #StandingStoneSunday.

This is Carreg Wen Fawr Y Rugos stone row (something of a rarity in this area), up on the limestone hills above Llangynidr, with marvellous views north across the Usk valley to the Black Mountains.

The row consists of a very long, tapering recumbent stone (if upright it would be over 2m tall) and at least 8 other smaller standing stones.

Visited on a drizzly day in May 2010.

#StoneRow #BlackMountains #BronzeAge #SouthWales

Another of my very favourite standing stones for #StandingStoneSunday: Maen Llwyd (one of lots of stones with that name) may be the highest standing stone above sea level in Wales, at about 560m OD.

It's wonderfully situated in a natural amphitheatre, surrounded by ridges of the Black Mountains, below the Bronze Age cairn on Pen y Gadair Fawr.

This visit April 2010.
